It's true that when people die, they get a new life as a new person, in terms of the person's vision (what we see from our eyes)?

  • If you are reborn as a new person with none of your previous memories, then does it matter that it's still "you"?

    • What do you think we should do with ourselves once profitable industries have no use for us?

  • Step one is to find a group of like minded LOCAL individuals that all have an interest in supporting each other. It doesn't matter how you find each other - game groups, religion, gardening clubs, etc. Just build a clan and make sure you are willing to support each other.

    The whole You Are Not So Smart podcast is about how people think and how you can get people to really examine their beliefs and bringing them closer to rationality.

    There are ways to do it, but it's also easy to push the wrong direction, and you can't think about it as making someone think a certain way, but helping them examine why they believe what they do.

  • We've always had to pay for quality, buying crap on Amazon is always going to be a tossup. There's plenty of stores out there where you can buy good stuff, you just have to be willing to pay more than slave wages for it.

    It's tough out there, but there's plenty of quality stuff if you look in the right place.

  • I've been running a pair of cyberpower systems for over a decade. I had to replace the battery in each of them once, but they've been working great.

    I assume newer ones use some sort of Li-Ion battery tech, but mine are just plain old Lead Acid.

  • That article in Signal is bogus. It is entirely based on speculation from how funding comes in, and also either ignores, or misunderstands how Signal fundamentally works.

    The EFF recommends Signal, and it's one of the most secure ways to communicate.

    You can make your own decisions, but if you just grab any random arguments, you'll find a reason to doubt everything.

    • Is it possible to stay alive just for something you want to do (I mean dyeing of old age) like Jimmy Carter wants to stay alive so he can vote for Harris? Have you seen or heard example of this?

    Jump

  • There are quite a few anecdotal cases of people dying shortly after retirement, or shortly after a spouse dies. Death is complicated and sometimes people "hold on" for weird and unexplained reasons.

    People in terminal condition have a habit of dying when loved ones are out of the room.

    Does Jimmy Carter feel like this election is something major he needs to accomplish before he goes? Maybe. Or maybe he just keeps busy with all of his volunteer work and other philanthropy, which is keeping him around.

    Maybe he's just one of the lucky ones that happens to be healthy and sharp at 100 for reasons we don't know.

    • The One Question That Mattered in the VP Debate

    Jump

  • Q: Would you have certified the election results had you been vice president?
    Vance: If I had been vice president, I would have told the states, like Pennsylvania, Georgia, and so many others, that we needed to have multiple slates of electors. And I think the U.S. Congress should have fought over it from there.

    • The 42 year old new hire at your job confesses to you that he has had 48 different jobs in his life. What is your opinion on that?

    Jump

  • Depends entirely on what the job is.

    Is the 42 year old a welder? Then 48 different jobs might mean they're in super high demand and contract out to high paying, low time frame jobs.

    Is the 42 year old a cop or a priest? Probably skips town a lot for... reasons...

    Most any other job might just mean they've had an interesting life and like to try new things. Their broad experience might mean they're great for what they're currently doing.

  • It's shown that they have multiple techniques they enjoy. Quark once got a feather stuck in his ear from some ear play.

    My guess is that they don't like rigid objects inserted. They have extremely sensitive hearing, so I'm guessing vibrating objects are also a no-go.

    PROBABLY not, but different people like different things, and Ferengi are well known for selling anything to anyone, so... maybe?
